Mercedes-Benz appeals to Brussels over French car ban
02/08/2013
Mercedes has complained to the European Commission because it says the ban ought not to come into full force until 2017 and that it has decided not to use a recommended alternative product because it says it is flammable.
Jean-Claude Bernard, head of the French Association of Mercedes-Benz dealers, has said R134a is used in 95% of the cars in France that have air-conditioning. He said the models concerned accounted for 50% of his members’ sales, equivalent to around 30,000 cars a year.
